[Q] Is my phone a brick? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I wanted to change my rom in my xperia x8, I did this many times without any problem, but this time after install MiniCM7-2.2.1 following this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585 the phone stuck in Sony Ericsson logo and the only way to turn off the phone is unplug the batery. Another curiosity thing is when I plug the phone to the pc usb port the device turned on alone.
When I try to enter to the recovery mode pressing the back button when the SE logo appears nothing happens.
I've tried with Flashtool, Sony Ericsson Update Service and many other things, but always with the same result... NOTHING.
How can I figure out if the phone is definitely a brick without solution?
Thanks!

you performed a full wipe? and are you sure that the ones you have downloaded are compatible with the kernel you're using?

Hi!
Yes I did a full wipe, but now I'm not sure if I used a compatible rom with my phone, looks like I screwed up, Is there any way to fix it?

Hi, thanks for your help, let me ask you a question, in the post "Recover your dead X8/W8" says:
If the date code on the sticker reads 11W29, or any later date (11W30, 11W31, 11W32, 11W33, ...), DO NOT attempt to unlock the boot loader.
and...
You have been warned, DO NOT TRY to unlock the boot loader on phones manufactured PAST 11W29!
Just to be sure, in my sticker phone says "11W19", could I try that solution?
This images are the last captures I made before reinstall the rom, may it helps:

bricks are common. nothing to worry about unless its hard brick. be sure the USB cable stays secure while you are unlocking the bootloader else you will end up with a dead X8

There was errors coming out via flashing a custom kernel in FlashTool for some custom ROMs in the forum. The thing was that I was trying to flash NobodyAtAll's/Nobody At All's nAa kernel on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X8i (E15i). They must fix this issue AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

What do you think has cause this error?
nAa kernel
or
Flashtool
Try older version of flashtool (0.2.9.1) to flash
To many people already asked about this! You can find you answer if you using search button. Btw use older flashtool ,like he mentioned above.

flash kernel via fastboot?
unlocked bootloader via Flashtool?
Here OP will do:
1.Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436924 .Take ur time and READ CAREFULLY every words in there to unlocking bootloader.
2.If everything successfully,flash costum kernel via X10 FLASHING TOOL in FLASHMODE not fastboot.
Then nobody should fixing anything after this.

no need to be sad you can still unlock bootloader and do everything you want except S-OFF as of now. Only if you are from verizon you are doomed. So head to HTCDEV unlock bootloader use hasoon toolkit for easy bootloader unlocking. flash twrp recovery. Download any custom rom you like and welcome. But keep in mind unlocking bootloader wipes complete 32gb storage so anything important must be backed up below is link for toolkit

it can void your warranty it usually always does if you report a issue with the device HTC will go "our records show you have unlocked the bootoader" and yea they pretty much refuse to fix your device. id wait till revone works on the latest hboot. can unlock without need to unlock via htc dev ^^
best of luck id go crazy having a android phone i couldnt flash ROM's on XD

What can i do now. I can get in recoverymode by pushin vol- and power on, but what can I do from there.? I cant transfer content to the phone so cant really get new firmware on it. maybe on the sdcard?

[Q] [Help] Bricked Moto X

Hello everyone.
I have a little problem here. I just bricked my Moto X.
Bricked by Downgrade from 5.0 to 4.2 and Install a OTA. (Bad Idea).
So I read this post. I do the instructions step by step. But my Moto still "dead" no power on, no green light, no fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057

PD. My english is SO bad. Sorry about that.
That thread you linked is your last best hope.
If it doesn't work, you're likely doomed.
You could try flashing whatever version you were on previously with fastboot/mfastboot. Not 5.0, cause that doesn't exist. Whatever last official version you were on. See the complete moto X guide sticky in general for help on "returning to stock".
But what you've done is a well known guaranteed brick. Read read read.... Then do.... In the future.
Good luck!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057
also, are you on Win7 or Win8/8.1?
Try to get a Win7 if possible and run-as-admin the command prompt for ADB fastboot.
also, download the Moto X tool in the Android-dev subforum, it has some useful scripts to manually flash some stuff.

I tried the way of another post and I'm in Win 8.
The problem is that when the phone is flashed , the phone does not enter the fastboot mode. It shows a green LED a few seconds and the computer recognize it again as before.

Sorry man , sounds like you are one of the ones stuck , basically to unlock the bootloader you need to select a toggle in developer options to allow oem unlock, which leaves you in a bad spot because you cant boot into the operating system. Did you lock your bootloader? or did it lock when you flashed 5.1.

Read the final 6 pages. Look for similarities. I am the one who can't be succesuful. As I read your situation, it look like the one I am having. While we are still in the bootloader and responds I think there should be a FIX somehow. Just be patient. If you are not in my situation, the probabilities to FIX your phone are very high, I hope you are not in my boat.

Please stop spreading misinformation
Firstly - that thread is not to force unlock a bootloader. It is to recover from a brick where the bootloader was broken and couldn't be used. The guy from Motorola who provided the fix in that very thread said this will not help unlock a bootloader.
Secondly - there are still no confirmed cases of this working to force unlock a bootloader. 1 guy was not in the same situation as you, so that can be discounted. The other guy hasn't said much. No one else has managed to recover from this. The probability is not very high as you say. It is extremely low.
